Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 17, 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how HaruVerse ("we", "our", or "us") handles information when you use the HaruVerse app (the "Service").

1. Information We Collect

We aim to collect the minimum information necessary to provide our Service:

Device identifiers — used solely to deliver push notifications (via Firebase Cloud Messaging).
Anonymous usage statistics — aggregate counts of content views, for improving content quality.

We do not collect personal identifiers such as names, phone numbers, or email addresses from app users.

2. YouTube API Services

HaruVerse uses YouTube API Services to upload daily Bible-verse short videos to our official YouTube channels. Specifically, we use the following scopes:

youtube.upload — to upload video files to our channels.
youtube.force-ssl — to manage uploaded video metadata (title, description, tags) over HTTPS.

These scopes are used only by our internal operator account to publish content we create. End users of the HaruVerse app do not authenticate with YouTube. The operator's Google account data is not shared with app users or any third party.

By using the HaruVerse Service, you agree to be bound by the YouTube Terms of Service. Our handling of information obtained from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

The operator can revoke HaruVerse's access to Google account data at any time via the Google security settings page.

3. How We Use Information

To deliver daily content and push notifications you requested.
To measure aggregate engagement and improve content quality.
To maintain and secure our Service.

4. Information Sharing

We do not sell, rent, or share personal information with third parties, except for the following service providers strictly necessary to operate the Service:

Google Firebase — push notifications and content sync. See Firebase Privacy.
Google YouTube — for content publishing as described above. See Google Privacy Policy.
Amazon Web Services (AWS) — for backup storage of non-personal operational data.

5. Data Retention

Aggregate usage data is retained for up to 12 months. Operational backups are retained for 30 days and then automatically deleted.

6. Children's Privacy

HaruVerse is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children.

7. Other Apps by the Same Developer

The same developer also operates HaruNews and HaruFortune. Those apps are separate services with their own privacy considerations and are not covered by this policy.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date.
